National Wildlife Refuges in Maryland

Maryland has 6 national wildlife refuges, all run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service: Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge, Martin National Wildlife Refuge, Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge, and Susquehanna National Wildlife Refuge. 1 allows fishing.

Each refuge sets its own closures and fire rules. Each refuge's page lists the fire restriction orders and closures on record for it, from the refuge's own fws.gov alerts, re-checked every six hours. Hunting and fishing seasons and limits are the refuge regulation's and Nevada's: each page links them, and none are restated here.
